Importance of Programming Our Minds with Scripture
Our minds do not come pre-programmed with the Bible's truth, and just like Jesus, we need to intentionally fill our minds with the truth of Scripture. Whether our minds are empty slates or pre-wired, renewing our minds through Scripture is essential for life transformation. By hiding God's word in our hearts, we align our thinking with God's truth.
The Command to Remember God's Covenant
God commands us not to forget his covenant, which is his covenant-making and covenant-keeping love for us. In the Old Testament, the people of God often failed to remember the covenant, leading to spiritual disaster. However, in the New Testament, as believers, we have a special privilege at the Lord's table. Through the bread and wine, the Lord reminds us to remember his covenant in his blood, and this act helps us stimulate our memories of his love and faithfulness.
